I have a chance to pick up a good Tri-Z for a great deal.....the plastics have been painted and look dull. Does anyone know where I can get replacement plastics for the Tri-Z? I want to know these things before I bail off and get the trike. Everything else is in good shape and it runs great. I just need help finding new aftermarket plastics.....Thanks!!!
Dammit!

If the plastics aren't broken and cracked you could always try restoring them. Power wash the paint off then wet sand them.

the real plastics are good, but the front has a crack in it....

Go ahead and pick it up. Use a 350x front fender from maier, w/out holes. Get a can of aircraft stripper from autozone(safe on plastic) and strip the paint. 8hrs latter you'll have nice shinny plastic's. Or use the banshee rear. Is this the one liquidice has for sell?

By the way how much are you getting it for. If you do bail, let me know. Thanx

No, this isn't liquidice's, but I am sure I am going to get it.....He wants $2000....Is that a good deal? I am a Honda man, but it seems the Tri-Z is harder to find than the R.....I would like to expand into the Yamahas

That sounds high, unless it's close to near perfect. There was 1 in the quick quarter this past week for $600 I missed it by a day. Ice got down to a $1000 then put it on ebay. I guess if everything works great and the only problem is the plastics, go ahead.

Where is Ice's at? Did you go see it? And I am not following you....Ice went down to $1000 then put it on Ebay? What is he asking for it on Ebay?

They make replacement plastic. Go to James Lucky to order it though, save you some $$$.

I know where another one is for $500, but I'm keeping that quite until my wife turns her head.

$2000 is not worth it.
